Description : a Virtual Machine Monitor for i386
Package: xen
Architecture: i386
Description: a Virtual Machine Monitor like User-Mode-Linux
XEN is a Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) originally developed by the
Systems Research Group of the University of Cambridge Computer
Laboratory, as part of the UK-EPSRC funded XenoServers project.
.
Xen enables multiple operating system images to execute concurrently
on the same hardware with very low performance overhead --- much lower
than commercial offerings for the same x86 platform.
Package: xen-domain0-utils
Architecture: i386
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${python:Depends}, libxc-python, xen-utils
Description: utilities for the XEN domain0 controller, a Virtual Machine Monitor
This package contains the set of utilities that domain0 needs to create
and control other xen instances.
.
It should be installed in the bootup domain when running XEN.
Package: xen-utils
Architecture: i386
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: utilities for xenolinux, a client to XEN
This package contains utilities needed by all XEN instances. Currently,
it only contains xen-mkdevnodes and balloon, the interface to the balloon
memory driver.
Package: xen-docs
Architecture: all
Description: documentation for XEN, a Virtual Machine Monitor
This package contains all the large documentation files for XEN. This
includes a description interface(both the api, and a nice explanation of
how XEN works). It also contains the VBD and Xeno howtos.
Package: libxc1.2
Architecture: i386
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: control library for XEN, a Virtual Machine Monitor
Library to control the XEN microkernel. Contains functions for creating,
starting, stopping, saving, virtual instances.
Package: libxc-dev
Architecture: i386
Depends: libxc1.2
Description: development files for the control library for XEN
Users wishing to develop their own tools for interfaces to the underlying
XEN kernel should install this package.
Package: libxc-python
Architecture: i386
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${python:Depends}
Description: python wrapper around libxc, the control library for XEN
This python library wraps the C library, and provides a nice OO interface
to the low-level system calls. It also provides some higher-level config
file parsing.
Package: kernel-patch-xen
Architecture: all
Depends: ${kpatch:Depends}
Description: patch to linux for the XEN sub-arch
This kernel patch modifies linux, so that it can run inside XEN, a
Virtual Machine Monitor.
Package: kernel-image-2.4.25-xeno-p2
Architecture: i386
Description: a port of linux to the XEN Virtual Machine Monitor
This package contains xenolinux: linux ported to run underneath the XEN
Virtual Machine Monitor. Because it's not a standard kernel-package
managed image, it does not install into /boot.
Package: kernel-image-2.4.25-xeno-p2-modules
Architecture: i386
Description: modules for the linux port to the XEN Virtual Machine Monitor
This package contains the runtime loadable modules for the xenolinux
kernel.
.
This package is not a managed by kernel-package, so does not install
into /lib/modules.
